The initial Git for Windows 2.17.1 releases published on GitHub earlier today [0] apparently didn't include the patch. So just a heads up if you updated right after this was published: You probably want to make sure you have the fixed version (2.17.1.windows.2) [1]
Not sure why the erroneous releases haven't been removed? Seems a bit confusing.

- mappu 8y agoThe link on https://git-scm.com/ https://git-scm.com/ still points to the old 2.17.0. Chocolatey has the original 2.17.1, the 2.17.1-2 update is not yet approved. Cygwin still only has 2.17.0-1. I wonder whether they were even part of the embargo.
- runesoerensen 8y agoFor some reason git-scm.com is almost always slow at updating links to new Git for Windows releases. I usually just track the repository's atom feed [0] and download urgent updates directly from there (git-scm.com eventually links to the releases published on GitHub anyway).
